For the people who use the 7sage app, what do you do when you are in a public place like the library where making noise is frowned upon? I like using the app but take the majority of my PTs in the library.

I do the same. And yes, I'm pretty sure its allowed on your desk. Someone told me during his first take the proctor interrupted him mid-LG and told him that the watch was only allowed on the desk and not on his wrist. I don't think this is typical and it was pretty bitchy to interrupt during a section instead of on break or something. If you're worried just ask the proctor on test day. It seems like they make up their own rules sometimes.

First of all - I just got a call from a New Haven # and thought it was Yale. ASHA, STOP PULLING AT MY HEARTSTRINGS.
Secondly - I would recommend just setting it at 12:00 for the first three sections and then resetting it during the break. You don't have time to really set it back to 12:00 before every section. It will frazzle tf out of you. For section 1: it'll end at 12:35. For section 2: 1:05ish. For section 3: 1:40. It's not that bad to keep track of. By game day, you should feel comfortable enough with timing without having to rely on your watch.

Jackel - for 7Sageing in public, I use headphones.

Yes, you can put it on your desk. I recommend it.

No. Questions missed NOW are a result of incomplete mastery. I'm missing a total of 2-4 on the last 10 PTs and no, they aren't a result of "stupid mistakes." It's because I haven't mastered certain concepts, or I misunderstood the question stem, or I rushed. Those aren't "stupid mistakes." They are imperfection on my part; lack of mastery.

You sure you aren't lacking something else?

Oh I play it on my iPhone (on silent & vibrate turned off in my pocket) with headphones.

I turn it on airplane mode, and use my jaybirds

Cool, guess I'll have to dig out my non-noise canceling headphones to use. I imagine I'll jump every time I hear "STOP" directly in my ears haha

Credited. Followed by arousal.

ETA: My posts are starting to sound like GT's. How do I make it stop!?

Whelp I definitely wore mine on my wrist. I also took a sip of 5 hour energy INSIDE THE TESTING ROOM because I'm hard like that.

Unless you have something else you really, really need to write about, I would put it in your PS. If you have something that's going to jump off a page like that, it should probably be a highlight of your app and just just highlighted

I wouldn't worry about the lounge. Not even the Sept study thread was lounged. The Sept waiter thread was lounged before score release, which is like super rare. At like 600 pages.

I think September takers take pride in this.

If you set volume low enough, people don't seem to care. This is when I forget my headphones. Let's be honest, even library isn't that quiet.

I'm also currently doing most difficult RC and LG. Gotta keep reminding myself that ~10 min on these games is solid, but it's hard not to get antsy. Feel like the higher * games are more about set up and intelligent brute forcing, but still feel like the 2* games that take you too long are the most dangerous
